Enroll on Chrome OS

Before you can use SafeNet MobilePASS+ to generate passcodes, you must enroll a SafeNet MobilePASS+ authenticator on your device using one of the following methods:

• Automatic Enrollment – Automatically copy and paste the activation code into the Auto Enrollment window by clicking the Enroll your SafeNet MobilePASS+ authenticator link on the notification email.

• Copy-Paste Enrollment – Manually copy and paste the activation string into the activation string field if you have difficulties with automatic enrollment.

  

  Note

  As a security best practice Thales Group recommends that users do not use the copy and paste function for the OTP or enrollment strings because the clipboard is shared among all applications running on a device.
  
  A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection with the STA server is required for all SafeNet MobilePASS+ authenticator activation methods.
